What do you think?

This was extremely sweet and adorable. <3

This is honestly the cutest game on the internet, I have literally no doubt about that. I adored playing every second of it. I noticed more of the low-key messages while editing but overall this game was so adorable! Amazing job!

Chalk Gardens is a cute and imaginative exploration game about dealing with life's setbacks.

You play as a child exploring dangerously high rooftops while looking for a way to fix your doll.

What can you expect from the game?

  • it's a short game

  • fantastic art depicting a child's view on an unique setting

  • metroidvania-esque exploration play

  • a meaningful message subtly woven into both the story and the mechanics of the game

  • events and multiple ways to react to them

  • available in French, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese (and English)
